OREGON — A Crossroads Community Church pastor entered a not-guilty plea Friday to the charge of aggravated sexual abuse.
Charles Babler, 64, of Mount Morris has worked at the church’s Freeport and Polo campuses but is on administrative leave,
Babler entered the Ogle County Courthouse with his wife and sat quietly in Judge Robert T. Hanson’s courtroom.
Babler was arrested by sheriff’s deputies June 21 in the wake of an investigation of a 2011 incident in which police say he had contact with a person younger than 13.
